My Craigslist Stalking Paid Off!

Finally! After weeks of obsessively checking Craigslist, I came across an Ektorp chair (usually $250) for $50! I know it looks gross in the picture, but that's because the slipcover was ripped in the front so I just went ahead and took it off when we got it home, and I'm planning on buying a new white slipcover for $29 when we make our trip to Ikea soon.

I probably should have waited to post of picture of my chair with a new slipcover for a more dramatic reveal, but I just couldn't wait to share!

Sooooo for all of $80 I will have come in waaaaay below my original $500 budget for a new chair.

Yay on finding a chair! And just wanted to let you know (in case you're looking for a specific item like this in the future), there's a website called List Alert. You enter what you're looking for (ie. Ektorp chair) and they email you whenever a new one is listed in your area!

Love love the progress in your bedroom! I love craigslist scores! I got the exact same chair with a white slip cover for 80. The pillow cover part was ripped on the side {you dont even see it ;) } They are so cozy!

I am a new follower! & We are currently re doing our bedroom as well!Where did you get your bed linens if you don't mind me asking?Thanks :)
